Bella Napoli / Green Business Meeting 5-8-2018

I was present for a green business meeting hosted by BTG this Tuesday.

The focus was food waste and the ways to improve.

Bella Napoli is a family restaurant that thrives off of the threads of relationships it has weaved throughout the years.

Bella Napoli is more than a conversation or one plate of pasta. It is a moment we share together that gets us through the lesser days.

Behind these moments are the details of the work place.

Making lists, ordering products, organizing, prepping, serving, and of course loving.

There is however more to our story, and that story continues in our trash bins.

As much as a passing smile can carry itself through the day, so too does our trash carry itself way beyond our bins.

Food waste is one of our beautiful problems. Sending food to the landfill creates methane.

Creating a conversation about composting the wasted, and donating the left overs is not only something we can benefit from as a family who cares about their home. It should be our honor to share the benefit of healthy compost for farmers and feeding homeless who seek a full stomach.

Everyday we work to make Bella Napoli a home away from home. With our excess resources we can spread that family love further than our backdoor.

The free recycle program offers

Consultation, consult summary, solutions and waste outlets. Space and bin management, training and education for employees.

To show people our efforts is room for bragging rights, and sharing our care can encourage others to do the same.

Falcon Heavy, Witnessing history 2/6/2018

If you know me, you are aware of my obsession with everything that Elon Musk has created. I follow his endeavors to make us sustainable and a multi planetary species. I knew he would be launching the Falcon Heavy but didn’t expect myself to be a witness. Less than 2 weeks before the event, I had a regular customer from the restaurant I worked at (Bella Napoli) offer to pay for my hotel if I could get myself out to Cape Canaveral launch site. Through a series of hectic events, I drove 4 hours through the night to get a new credit card, flew into Florida and drove another 2 hours to get to my hotel where they had lost my ticket to view the launch. No sooner than 3am they called to my room to say they had found my pass to view the launch. Arriving at 9am to the Kennedy Space Center, the day began as a tourist wandering through historical equipment. Meeting people who’d worked on the antennas of the falcon 9 and boosters as well. I looked up from the grassy lawn into the clea...

My Landscaping 5-8-2018

I have landscaped for over 10 years ranging from residential to commercial. I have worked heavy machinery to weeding of yards. I have worked in teams to plant thousands of mature plants, irrigation, 10 foot trees, weed barrier, mulch. I have worked by myself, bare hands, leveling a foot of dirt, loading/unloading trucks with hundreds of pounds of rock, dirt, mulch, plants. I am effective in my time. I am educated in what stays and what goes. I know the details in spacing, depth, light, water, nutrition. I not only plant with power, i plant with love. I personally speak to the flowers and the worms and I tell them thank you. My belief is not in a perfect yard but a healthy yard. I believe in native plants and a couple of weeds, I support and specialize in butterfly gardens, rain gardens, and of course gardens. I love beautiscaping but I love even more educating on topics of soil health, native plants, and yards that support eco systems vs work against th...

My Celi love for Mycelium

I had seen the videos over the last 4 years… Mycoremediation- using mycelium to breakdown different materials that are negative on this environment and breaking the carbon bonds with special enzymes to produce carbohydrates which can be positive or neutral in our environment I had also fallen for a couple new companies growing furniture with mycelium…. Following them online was a blessing, My passion followed in action. I found a mushroom farmer in Kansas City. Carie Cave. Not only is she humble and full of love, but she allowed me in her space to teach me and show me the details in producing a culinary mushroom. Free Education through volunteering… I learned how sensitive this live culture is to light, air, and other competing microbes. I found my new love, oh and by the way, did you know that mushrooms are more closely related to the animal kingdom than to plants? These special microorganism are used to expand our mind, our body, and soon, recovering of our planet...
